VIA Policy for Fundraising Ideas

The following is a clarification of procedure the VIA Council and VIA members must follow when considering fundraising ideas.

If any VIA or VIA Council Member has a fundraising idea, the concept must be presented in written format at VIA Council meeting. If approved for further consideration by the VIA Council, then, in accordance with the VIA By-Laws, the VIA President will present the concept in written format to the NMA Director.

If approved by the Director, the concept will be presented for consideration to the appropriate NMA Board of Trustees Committee, as determined by the Director. If approved by the Committee, the concept will then be presented for consideration to the NMA Board of Trustees. If approved by the Board of Trustees, coordination of the fundraising idea may begin. Approval of any VIA fundraising concept must be recorded in the meeting minutes of the NMA Board of Trustees.
